RADAR 360º

The project’s artistic language stems from the dialogue between object manipulation and interactive music. We add sound to the visual expression of juggling, and at the same time we address sound as matter capable of being sculpted and manipulated. The manipulator’s gesture has been perfected, and is ready to unleash sequences, mechanisms, rhythms, and other sound and visual patterns. The objects undergo changes and recreate themselves around us. Our bodies engage with them and play... All of it is heard and composed. — Radar 360º

Radar 360º • Since the late 1990s, António Oliveira and Julieta Rodrigues, founders and artistic directors of the company Radar 360º, have dedicated themselves to research and writing in the street arts, contemporary circus and physical theatre field. In 2004, they attended the Advanced Training in Itinerant Street Arts at FAI-AR, a French institution based in Marseille. It inspired them to create Radar 360º, which was officially born in 2005. In 2006, the company starts working at Fábrica da Rua da Alegria, in the city of Porto, with the institutional support of IPP and ESMAE. It has been constantly travelling since its foundation, holding workshops and performing in several countries.
